November’s election is still nearly 90 days away, but a number of Republicans are already preparing a post-mortem on the presidential race, thanks to Donald Trump’s presence at the top of ticket.Some are saying dramatic changes are needed, whether or not Trump causes other GOP candidates elsewhere on the ballot to lose.

Tony talks about the great culture shift going on in American politics. There was a time when President Obama was the cool kid – posters made in his image and crooning Al Green songs. Now, he is America’s Insurance Salesman in Chief, sitting between two potted plants and can’t spell R-E-S-P-E-C-T.Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has all the juice now. Those posters that appeared across Los Angeles, and now videos of the Senator elevating his cool factor. Ricochet.com’s Jon Gabriel joins Tony to discuss what is happening.

I had the pleasure today of speaking with conservative activist Jon Gabriel, the well-known@ExJon on Twitter, on the increasingly aggressive efforts by the left to intimidate conservatives and independents into silence. We discussed the intention of the left and the importance of resisting and pushing back on this old offensive which has regained new steam with the re-election of Obama.
